Excited-state intramolecular-proton-transfer-based fluorescent probe for the rapid detection of peroxynitrite in Alzheimer’s disease models

Article

Author: Li, Haitao ; Zhang, Youyu ; Fang, Cong ; Chen, Shiying ; Zhao, Kuicheng ; Wu, Cuiyan ; Huang, Wei ; Liu, Feng

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a prevalent neurodegenerative disease that involves continuous pathophysiological processes and causes irreversible brain damage. Increasing evidence indicates that peroxynitrite (ONOO^-) plays a vital role in the pathogenesis of AD by mediating neurotoxicity and neuroinflammation. Therefore, developing practical tools for the precise, rapid, and sensitive detection of ONOO^- levels is essential for elucidating the multiple pathological processes associated with AD. HBT-PON, a novel fluorescent probe that incorporates a benzothiazole (HBT) derivative as the fluorescent signaling moiety and a 1,1-diphenylhydrazine moiety as the recognition unit, was prepared in this study and employed for the excited-state intramolecular-proton-transfer-based detection of ONOO^- in AD. HBT-PON is readily synthesized and exhibits excellent selectivity and sensitivity for ONOO^- (limit of detection: 4.7 nM) and responds rapidly (<5 s). Moreover, it is an ideal tool for visualizing ONOO^- in cells, zebrafish, and AD-related biological models owing to its low cytotoxicity and excellent biocompatibility. Furthermore, this probe can effectively monitor dynamic changes in ONOO^- levels in an AD cell model and mouse brain tissue, thereby providing a robust method for comprehensively examining the relationship between ONOO^- and the pathology of AD.

Constructing amino and hydroxyl group co-modified porous organic polymers for the efficient enrichment of phenoxyacetic acid herbicides and their determination by HPLC-UV

Article

Author: Dou, Yiran ; Wu, Qiuhua ; Wang, Qianqian ; Wang, Chun ; Zhao, Ying ; Hao, Lin

As hormone-type herbicides, phenoxyacetic acid herbicides (PAAs) residues in environment and food pose severe risks to human health. In this study, a hydroxyl and amino modified azo-linked porous polymer (NH-OH-POP) was synthesized for the first time. As a solid-phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent, NH-OH-POP achieved efficient enrichment of PAAs across a broad pH range (pH 1-9), far surpassing the pH range of all previously reported adsorbents. With NH-OH-POP as SPE adsorbent, a highly efficient high-performance liquid chromatography method for the analysis of trace PAAs in real water and vegetable samples has been established. The method demonstrated good linearity (determination coefficient >0.998), high sensitivity (detection limits of 0.08-0.30 ng mL^-1 for water, 6.00-18.0 ng g^-1 for wax gourd, and 6.50-20.0 ng g^-1 for cucumber), and high recovery rates (87.4-107 %), with relative standard deviations below 7.2 %. This work can shed light on constructing multifunctional POPs for the robust enrichment and detection of acidic organic pollutants.

Electrochem. reduction of nitrate to ammonia is challenged by the high dissociation energy of nitrate, sluggish kinetics and competitive side reactions.This study proposes PdNi alloy nanocrystals, formed by Pd deposition mediated in situ generation of Ni metallic species over defective La_0.52Ca_0.28Ni_0.06Ti_0.94O₃ perovskite nanofibers, as a catalyst for nitrate reduction reaction.Such catalyst delivers an NH₃ yield rate of 21.13 mgh^-1mg^-1_cat (about 4226 mgh^-1mg^-1_Pd) and a maximum Faradaic efficiency of 98.78 % at -1.0 V.Theor. studies reveal that the adjoining of PdNi nanocrystals and oxygen vacancies on perovskite facilitate the nitrate hydrogenation and reduces dissociation energy of nitrates by enhancing the adsorption of reaction intermediates and suppresses the hydrogen evolution reaction.This technique provides a way for developing advanced catalysts with metallic phases and oxygen vacancies for optimized electrochem. nitrate reduction

The financing was led by Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners, co-led by Forbion Growth, and included participation from RTW Investments, Nextech Invest, ARCH Venture Partners, Forbion Ventures, ND Capital, and other new and existing investors. AIRNA will use the proceeds to advance its lead RNA editing product candidate (AIR-001) for AATD into a Phase 1/2 clinical trial, and to develop a pipeline of novel RNA-editing medicines for cardiometabolic and other diseases. “AIRNA is developing a new class of genetic medicines that could provide functional cures for a wide range of diseases,” said Kris Elverum, President and Chief Executive Officer of AIRNA. “This partnership of new and existing investors allows us to rapidly deliver AIR-001 to patients with AATD, as well as progress a pipeline of medicines to realize the full potential of RNA editing.” AATD is caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene that lead to insufficient levels of functional alpha-1 antitrypsin (M-AAT) protein, which results in lung and liver disease. AIR-001 precisely repairs the most common, harmful SERPINA1 mutation (PiZ) to address the underlying cause of both lung and liver disease and restore functional M-AAT production. AIR-001 was designed for potent and durable M-AAT production, convenient, subcutaneous dosing, and well-tolerated safety to give patients a preferred therapeutic option. “Patients with AATD have limited therapeutic options, and AIRNA is developing a potentially best-in-class medicine that has been optimized for potency, durability, and safety,” said Ken Greenberg, M.D., partner at Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners. “Venrock is thrilled to collaborate with the tremendous team at AIRNA, and a world-class investor syndicate, to bring novel RNA editing medicines to patients.” AIRNA’s proprietary platform harnesses natural mechanisms to potently edit a target RNA with a safe and flexible medicine. Precise RNA editing has unique potential to safely introduce beneficial genetic variants that promote optimal health, in addition to repairing disease-driving mutations, such as those causing AATD. AIRNA identifies variants that drive health through human genetics, and is developing new medicines to transform the lives of patients with cardiometabolic and other diseases. “AIRNA’s innovative approach to RNA editing has the distinctive potential to improve health across large populations by introducing healthy genetic variants for many conditions. We are excited to support the expansion of AIRNA’s pipeline of life-changing medicines and the advancement AIR-001 into the clinic,” said Dirk Kersten, Managing Partner at Forbion. Alongside this financing, AIRNA announced the appointment of Melissa McCracken, Ph.D., a partner at Nextech Invest, to the Board of Directors. Dr. McCracken has a track record of growing the next generation of innovative biopharma companies, with a focus on precision approaches. About AIRNA AIRNA is harnessing advances in genetics to develop transformative RNA-editing medicines that improve human health across both rare and broad populations.

AIRNA secures $155m to bring RNA-candidate to clinic

AIRNA’s total capital raised so far is $245m. Credit: sesame via Getty Images. AIRNA has raised $155m in Series B financing to advance its RNA editing pipeline, and kick-start a clinical trial for its lead candidate, AIR-001. Venrock Healthcare Capital Partners and Forbion Growth co-led the new round, bringing AIRNA’s total raised capital to $245m. The US and Germany-based biotech plans to file a clinical trial application (CTA) for its lead candidate, AIR-001, for alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) by H2 2025. The company is developing AIR-001 as an investigational RNA editor – a therapy designed to modify RNA sequences to correct disease-causing mutations. This approach is different to DNA editing approaches such as clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR), which make permanent changes to the genome. RNA editing is a reversible process that allows for targeted corrections without altering the underlying genetic code. The Series B funds will support the launch of a Phase I/II clinical trial for AIR-001 and the further development of other RNA-editing candidates, primarily targeting cardiometabolic diseases. AATD is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in the SERPINA1 gene, which encodes the AAT protein. Under normal circumstances, AAT is produced in the liver and transported to the lungs, where it regulates enzyme activity to prevent tissue damage. In patients with AATD, mutations can prevent AAT from exiting the liver, leading to toxic protein accumulation that damages the liver while also depriving the lungs of necessary protection. This can result in progressive lung disease, liver dysfunction, and symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, and jaundice. The AATD treatment landscape is becoming increasingly competitive as multiple biotechs advance RNA-editing candidates. Korro Bio is investigating its candidate KRRO-110 in the Phase I/IIa REWRITE clinical trial (NCT06677307), with interim data expected in H2 2025. The company announced last month that the dosing of the first two cohorts had been completed, and the trial is expected to conclude next year. Wave Life Sciences is developing WVE-006, which demonstrated targeted RNA editing in the first two patients treated in the Phase Ib/IIa RestorAATion-2 clinical trial (NCT06405633). The growing interest in RNA editing has also drawn investment from major pharmaceutical companies. In November 2023, Roche expanded its partnership to develop a one-time RNA editing therapy using ShapeTX’s AI-powered platform for an undisclosed disease. In September 2024, Novo Nordisk and Korro Bio announced a collaboration leveraging Korro’s OPERA platform to enable oligonucleotide-directed RNA edits for two undisclosed targets, initially focused on cardiometabolic diseases. The deal included up to $530m in upfront, development, and commercial milestone payments, along with tiered royalties and R&D funding. Not all genetic medicine approaches for AATD have progressed as planned. In January 2025, Intellia Therapeutics discontinued the development of its CRISPR-based gene therapy NTLA-3001, which was intended to correct the SERPINA1 mutation at the DNA level. Preparations for the Phase I/II trial were halted, along with other early-stage programmes, signalling a shift in the company’s pipeline priorities. With fresh funding and a CTA planned for later this year, AIRNA is positioning itself within the growing RNA editing field. Forbion managing partner Dirk Kersten said: “AIRNA’s innovative approach to RNA editing has the distinctive potential to improve health across large populations by introducing healthy genetic variants for many conditions. We are excited to support the expansion of AIRNA’s pipeline of life-changing medicines and the advancement of AIR-001 into the clinic.”
